Geoclient API v1

The Geoclient application is a cloud based web service which exposes select function calls to the New York City Department of City Planning's Geosupport application. At the current time, there are six types of location requests that the Geoclient service provides:

Type Description Geosupport Function
Address Given a valid address, provides blockface-level, property-level, and political information. 1B
BBL Given a valid borough, block, and lot provides property-level information. BL
BIN Given a valid building identification number provides property-level information. BN
Blockface Given a valid borough, "on street" and cross streets provides blockface-level information. 3
Intersection Given a valid borough and cross streets returns information for the point defined by the two streets. 2
Place Same as 'Address' above using well-known NYC place name for input. 1B

Starting with Geoclient service version 1.10, any of these request types can be called using the new single-field search endpoint. Service calls can now be made passing in a single-line location instead of requiring values be separated into distinct query parameters. See Section 1.3 for details.

Roadmap

  1. Section 1.0 titled "Calling the Geoclient API" documents how application clients call the Geoclient service. It also provides example responses.
  2. Section 2.0 titled "Understanding Geoclient Return Codes" provides reference information for the HTTP and application-level return codes which are provided for all requests.
  3. Section 3.0 titled "Geoclient Function Reference" details what data elements are returned from each request type.
  4. Section 4.0 titled "Geoclient Data Dictionary" provides more detailed reference information on available data items.
  5. Section 5.0 titled "Version Information" provides information about the versions of Geoclient and Geosupport used by this service.
  6. Section 6.0 titled "Contact Us" provides contact information for the Citywide GIS group.

1.0 - Calling the Geoclient API

All requests are made as simple HTTP GET's with input arguments specified as URL query parameters. The service returns the JSON (application/json) or XML (application/xml) media types, depending on the requested file extension.

Note that although the XML and JSON example responses are "pretty-printed" in this document, calling applications should not depend on any particular formatting of responses. Furthermore, the ordering of returned data elements is unspecified. Client code which parses responses from Geoclient should not rely upon significant whitespace or element/attribute ordering.

Also, even within the same service call types (Address, Intersection, etc...) the set of returned data elements will vary since those elements with NULL values are not returned.

1.1 - Common Request Parameters

The following request parameters are required for all operations (except where noted):

1Not applicable to BIN calls
2Not required for ADDRESS or PLACE calls if zip is given 3Some caveats apply for single-field search requests

1.2 - Request Parameters by Type

The following sections describe how to call the Geoclient API. Required and optional query parameters are listed for each type of supported call. Although the actual Geosupport API can be called with a vast number of optional parameters, at this time this service only supports what's listed below.

Note: Example GET requests are shown unencoded (for example, with space characters instead of '%20'). When making these requests programmatically, you may need to URL-encode the URL if your tool or platform does not do so automatically. See this article for more details.

1.2.1 - Address

Path: /v1/address.{format}

Parameters:

Parameter Name Required/Optional Comments
houseNumber required House number of the address.
street required Street name or 7-digit street code.
borough required if 'zip' not given Valid values defined in section 1.1.
zip required if 'borough' not given Standard USPS 5-digit zip code or zip+4 (see this article). Must be a valid zip code for an area within New York City limits.

Example Requests:

/v1/address.json?houseNumber=314&street=west 100 st&borough=manhattan&app_id=abc123&app_key=def456
/v1/address.xml?houseNumber=109-20&street=71st rd&borough=queens&app_id=abc123&app_key=def456

1.3 - Single-field Search

Begining with version 1.10, any of the six request types documented in section 1.2 can be accessed using a single unparsed location string. Assuming that the Geoclient parser can guess the location type requested and the given single-field input parameter contains contains enough information to generate a successful Geosupport call, the service will return one or more sets of geocodes corresponding to the type of request that was made.

The single-field search will attempt to recognize the type of request being made using the following (simplified) parsing strategies listed in the order in which they are executed :

  1. A ten-digit number where the first digit is 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 is recognized as a BBL request:
    1000670001
  2. A seven-digit number where the first digit is 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 is recognized as a BIN request:
    1079043
  3. If the input string ends with a United States-related country identifier it is recognized and removed:
    314 W 100 ST, NY, NY 10025 [USA]
  4. If the input string ends with a five or seven-digit zipcode it is removed and kept as a <ZIP> token:
    314 W 100 ST, NY, NY [10025]
  5. If the input string ends with a valid two-character U.S. state abreviation it is recognized and removed1:
    314 W 100 ST, NY, [NY]
  6. If the input string ends with a known N.Y.C. city name it is removed and kept as a <CITY_NAME> token:
    93-02 69th Ave, [Forest Hills]
  7. If the input string ends with a known borough name or abreviation it is removed and kept as a <BOROUGH_NAME> token:
    80 Monroe Ave [SI]
  8. A BLOCKFACE request is identified using the pattern <ON_STREET> "between" <CROSS_STREET_ONE> "and" <CROSS_STREET_TWO>:
    [Broadway] between [W 100 St] and [W 101 St]
  9. A INTERSECTION request is identified using the pattern <CROSS_STREET_ONE> "and" <CROSS_STREET_TWO>:
    [Broadway] and [W 100 St]
  10. If the input string starts with a known house number format, it is recognized and kept as <BASIC_HOUSE_NUMBER> and (optionally) <HOUSE_NUMBER_SUFFIX> token(s):
    [93-02] 69th Ave
  11. Any remaining input is treated as an input street. If a <BASIC_HOUSE_NUMBER> token has been parsed, the input is recognized as an ADDRESS request, otherwise it is defaulted to a PLACE request
1Input ending in only a single instance of "NY" or "New York" (case-insensitive) is treated as a city name alias for Manhattan and not the state of New York. All matching is case-insensitive. Leading/trailing whitespace and any punctuation characters are ignored.

After the input has been parsed into tokens and the request type has been determined, the service resolves the BOROUGH_NAME and/or CITY_NAME token(s) into a New York City borough code (1=Manhattan, 2=Bronx, 3=Brooklyn, 4=Queens, 5=Staten Island).

The Geoclient service uses the concept of search levels to classify the degree to which any user input has been modified by the program before making the request to Geosupport. Roughly speaking, each additional level indicates a round of sub-searches undertaken when the service does not find an exact match.

1.3.1 - SFS (Single-field search)

Path: /v1/search.{format}

Parameters:

Parameter Name Required/Optional Comments
input required Unparsed location input.
exactMatchForSingleSuccess optional Whether a search returning only one possible successfully geocoded location is considered an exact match. Defaults to false.
exactMatchMaxLevel optional The maximum number of sub-search levels to perform if Geosupport rejects the input but suggests alternative street names, etc. Defaults to 3. Maximum is allowable value is 6.
returnPolicy optional Whether to return information on the search policy used to perform the search. Defaults to false.
returnPossiblesWithExact optional Whether to also return successfully geocoded possible matches when available in addition to the exact match. Defaults to false.
returnRejections optional Whether to return rejected response data from Geosupport. Defaults to false.
returnTokens optional Whether to return the parsed input tokens recognized by the parser. Defaults to false.
similarNamesDistance optional Maximum allowable Levenshtein distance between user input and a similar name suggestion from Geosupport. Defaults to 8. A higher number will allow more "guesses" to be made about an unrecognized street name.

Example Requests:

/v1/search.json?input=314 west 100 st manhattan&app_id=abc123&app_key=def456
/v1/search.xml?input=broadway and w 100 st&app_id=abc123&app_key=def456

2.0 - Understanding Geoclient Return Codes

There are two ways in which the Geoclient service communicates call status information: HTTP status codes and Geosupport API return codes. The former will always be provided; the only time in which latter will not be available is when the service itself is down or system error prevents the application from returning data to the client.

2.1 - HTTP Status Codes

The HTTP protocol implementation used by clients to call the Geoclient service will always provide status codes for all requests made to a valid Geoclient service URL. Full documentation of possible HTTP status codes are beyond the scope of this document, but section 10 of RFC 2616 provides detailed information.

In brief, here are the most commonly returned HTTP status codes:

HTTP Status Code Meaning
200 The call successfully reached the Geoclient application. Application-level return codes contain information on success or failure of the call (see section 2.2
400 A required query parameter is missing. See section 1.2 for information on call parameters.
404 An incorrect URL has been used. There is no service mapped to it.
500 The Geoclient service could not process the request due to an internal server error.

2.2 - Geosupport Return Codes

The following table decribes the various Geosupport return codes that are returned by the Geoclient service. Note that these codes come directly from the Geosupport application and they are documented in the UPG Section II.2.

3.0 - Geoclient Function Reference

This section describes the data returned by each function.

3.1 - Address (Function 1B)

Function 1B returns blockface-level information and political geography, followed by property level information for a given input. Work Area 2 consists of the output of a Function 1E call with Mode Switch = 'X' followed by the output of a Function 1A call with Mode Switch = 'X'. The input requires borough or zip code, address number if needed, and street name or street code. Function 1B retrieves the tax lot and building information from the PAD file based on the input. The block face and political data are then retrieved from the GRID and the Election files for the address set by the building level information.

3.6 - Place (Function 1B)

Function 1B returns blockface-level information and political geography, followed by property level information for a given input. Work Area 2 consists of the output of a Function 1E call with Mode Switch = 'X' followed by the output of a Function 1A call with Mode Switch = 'X'. The input requires borough or zip code, address number if needed, and street name or street code. Function 1B retrieves the tax lot and building information from the PAD file based on the input. The block face and political data are then retrieved from the GRID and the Election files for the address set by the building level information.

Functions Address/Place

continuousParityIndicator

Format 1 byte
Description

An 'address range' is a sequence of house numbers along an 'on' street between (and including) a Low House Number and a High House Number. Every address range has one of three possible parities: odd, even or continuous. An address range of odd parity consists of all odd house numbers along the 'on' street between the Low and High House Numbers. An even-parity range consists of all even house numbers between the Low and High House Numbers. A continuous-parity range consists of all house numbers (both even and odd) between the Low and High House Numbers. Most New York City block faces contain an address range that is either of even or odd parity. However, some block faces have a continuous-parity address range, usually where the opposite side of the street is non-addressable because it is a park, a body of water, etc. Some examples of the continuous parity case in Manhattan are Central Park West (the east side of the street runs along Central Park and is non-addressable, while the west side has both odd and even addresses); Riverside Drive; and the portion of Fifth Avenue that runs alongside Central Park.

If a New York City block face has a continuous parity address range, Geosupport represents this range as two separate ranges, an odd-parity range and an even-parity range. The practical effect of this depends on the Geosupport function. For Functions 1 and 1E, if an input address lies on a continuous-parity block face, only the range (i.e., the Low and High House Numbers) whose parity is the same as that of the input address is returned in WA2. For Function 3, if an input street segment contains a continuous parity address range, both the odd and the even ranges are returned, in the WA2 fields called Left Low House Number and Left High House Number for the range of one parity, and in the fields Right Low and High House Numbers for the range of the other parity; note that in this case, in reality both the odd and the even ranges are on the same side of the street, even though they are returned in fields called 'left' and 'right'. For Function 3C, if an input block face is on a street segment containing a continuous parity address range (regardless of whether the input block face is on the addressable or the non-addressable side of the segment), both the odd and the even ranges are returned, in the WA2 fields called Low House Number and High House Number for the range of one parity, and in the fields Alternate Low House Number and Alternate High House Number for the range of the other parity.

The field Continuous Parity Indicator indicates, for Functions 1, 1B, 1E, 3 and 3C, whether the street segment containing or corresponding to the user input is of the continuous parity type, and if so, which side of the segment is addressable.

Also documents continuousParityIndicator1a, continuousParityIndicator1e

curveFlag

Format 1 byte character
Description

This flag indicates whether the given geographic feature segment is in reality curved. If so, the curve may be an arc of a circle or an irregular curve. When the segment specified by the input data is an arc of a circle, Functions 1 and 1E return Spatial Coordinates that are positioned relative to this arc rather than to the segment's chord (the imaginary straight line joining the curved feature's endpoints). When the segment specified by the input data is an irregular curve, Functions 1 and 1E return blanks in the Spatial Coordinate fields (q.v.), and issue a warning with Reason Code value 'P'. In the case of Functions 3 and 3C, if the input data define a street stretch encompassing more than one segment (because of a T-intersection or bend), the Curve Flag is set 'on' (non-blank) if at least one of the constituent segments of the stretch is curved. See also discussion of Segment Length.

Functions Address/Place, Blockface
CodeMeaning
BlankSegment is not curved
ISegment is an irregular curve, i.e., it is curved but it is not an arc of a circle

doglegFlag

Format 1 byte
Description

A dogleg is a street configuration in which a street has a displacement or offset as it crosses another street. A non-blank value in the Dogleg Flag indicates that at least one of the cross streets forms a dogleg as it crosses the 'on' street, in such a way that at least one side of the 'on' street has a block face encompassing more than one segment.

When Function 3 returns a non-blank value in this flag, the work area represents the 'innermost' segment of the dogleg configuration. The Dogleg Flag value indicates which side or sides of the street has (or have) the long block face(s).

A Function 3C call will return information on the long block face when the user input data specifies a side of a street where there is a long block face formed by a dogleg or doglegs. The Dogleg Flag will not be set in response to a function 3C call.

Functions Blockface
CodeMeaning
BlankNot a dogleg
BBoth sides of the 'on' street have long block faces formed by doglegs. This can only occur if both cross streets form doglegs as they cross the 'on' street.

generatedRecordFlag

Format 1 byte
Description

This flag indicates that the geography defined by the input 'on' street and two cross streets is not a conventional street segment. There are several cases: a segment one of whose cross-features is a pseudo-street name (codes C, D); a street stretch formed by consolidating more than one consecutive LION segment (codes B, L, M, R, S and T); or a segment that is part of such a street stretch (types F, G). If the input data simultaneously satisfy the criteria for a Generated Record Flag value of C or D and for some other value, the flag contains the value other than C or D.

Functions Blockface
CodeMeaning
BRecord has been generated by consolidating several LION segments to represent a stretch of a street where there is a node that is not at an intersection, such as a bending point (or a consecutive sequence of such nodes).
CRecord generated because one or both nodes of segment lie on the City Limit (Bronx-Westchester or Queens- Nassau border), but segment itself lies entirely within the City. The cross street list for a node on the City Limit contains the special street code assigned to the pseudo- street name CITY LIMIT in the Bronx or Queens, as appropriate.
DRecord has been generated for a dead end segment, i.e. a segment at least one of whose nodes either has no other segments incident at it, or has segments of non-street features only. The cross street list at such a node contains only the special street code assigned to the pseudo-street name DEAD END in the given borough.
FRecord represents a segment that is part of a street stretch that either contains a bending point at which there are no cross streets, or the left side of which is the long block face of a T-intersection or a consecutive sequence of T- intersections.
GRecord represents a segment that is part of a street stretch, that either contains a bending point at which there are no cross streets, or the right side of which is the long block face of a T-intersection or a consecutive sequence of T- intersections.
LRecord has been generated to represent the long block face on the left side of a T-intersection.
MRecord has been generated by consolidating two or more LION segments to represent a stretch of a street containing a node or a consecutive sequence of nodes at which the 'on' feature intersects with no streets but intersects with more than one type of non-street feature.
RRecord has been generated to represent the long block face on the right side of a T-intersection.
SRecord has been generated by consolidating two or more LION segments to represent a stretch of a street containing a node or a consecutive sequence of nodes at which the 'on' feature intersects with no streets but intersects with one or more shorelines.
TRecord has been generated by consolidating two or more LION segments to represent a stretch of a street containing a node or a consecutive sequence of nodes at which the 'on' feature intersects with no streets but intersects with one or more train tracks.

internalLabelCoordinate

Format Spatial coordinates consist of two fields, an X Coordinate and a Y Coordinate, each 7 bytes RJZF.
Description

The Internal Label Point is a location within a tax lot selected by the Department of City Planning as the location where information could be displayed about the property in a mapping application. The coordinates associated with the Internal Label Point are guaranteed to be within the property, unlike the coordinates returned by either Function 1 or Function 1E, where the Spatial Coordinates are an approximation based in the address range of the particular street the address is on. In addition, the Function 1/1E Spatial Coordinates always fall in the street bed and not within a tax lot, and most likely will not be adjacent to the tax lot the address is in. Additionally, when using Function 1A, the same coordinates will be returned no matter which of a tax lot's addresses is used as input. There are a few properties which do not have an Internal Label Point; consequently, no coordinates will be returned for these properties.

Internal Label Points have also been known as Annotation Points. See SPATIAL COORDINATES for a description of the coordinate system (SPC) used by Geosupport.

Description

This field is used by several Geosupport features (see below) to return a list of street names. The number of street names in the list is returned in the WA1 output field NUMBER OF STREET CODES AND STREET NAMES IN LIST. The similar names feature uses the List of Street Names to return up to ten street names deemed 'similar' to a rejected input street name (see UPG Section III.5). The browse functions, Functions BB and BF, use the List of Street Names to return up to ten normalized street names in alphabetical order as part of a street name browse (see UPG Section III.7).

The local street name validation feature uses the List of Street Names to return up to four locally valid alias street names corresponding to a street name rejected as locally invalid (see UPG Section IV.5).

The cross street names feature (see CROSS STREET NAMES FLAG) uses the List of Street Names to return street names corresponding to the street codes in the LIST OF CROSS STREETS (Functions 1, 1B, 1E, 3 and 3C) or the LIST OF INTERSECTING STREETS (Function 2). In the case of Functions 1, 1B, 1E, 3 and 3C, the first five 32-byte street name fields in the List of Street Names are used for the street names corresponding to the street codes in the LIST OF CROSS STREETS AT LOW ADDRESS END; the second five 32-byte street name fields in the List of Street Names are used for the street names corresponding to the street codes in the LIST OF CROSS STREETS AT HIGH ADDRESS END.

Functions Address/Place, Intersection, Blockface

localGroupCode

Format 2 bytes. Numeric.
Description

Local street name validity is reflected in the sixth and seventh digits of the 10SC, which constitute the Local Group Code (LGC). Street codes are assigned in such a way that two names for a street have the same LGC value if and only if those names are valid for the same portion (possibly all) of the street. Note that if two names are valid for overlapping portions of a street, or one is valid for a subset of the portion where the other is valid, then those names are in different local groups. In order to be in the same local group, names must be valid for exactly the same portion of the street.

Conceptually, the set of all street names for a given street can be viewed as being partitioned into subsets called ?local street name groups?, each group identified by its LGC value and consisting of all the names that are valid for a particular portion (possibly all) of the street. (Most New York City streets only have one local street name group.)

A LGC value is meaningful only relative to its B5SC value. The B5SC identifies the street, and the LGC identifies a local street name group for the given street, that is, the group of all names for the given street that are valid for a particular portion (possibly all) of the street. The B5SC concatenated with the LGC, that is, the first eight bytes of the B10SC, constitute the Borough and Seven-Digit Street Code (B7SC). Two street names have the same B7SC value if and only if they are names for the same street (same B5SC value) and are valid for the same portion of the street (same LGC value relative to the given B5SC value).

For a detailed discussion of local group codes, street codes, and street names please see UPG Section IV.

segmentAzimuth

Format 3 bytes
Description

This item represents the direction in which the segment lies on the earth's surface, expressed as an angle in degrees measured counterclockwise from due east. The segment is considered to be pointing in the direction of increasing addresses, and the azimuth value can range from 0 to 359 degrees, inclusive. For example, a segment pointing due east has an azimuth of 0; one pointing due north has an azimuth of 90; one pointing due west has an azimuth of 180; one pointing halfway between due west and due south (i.e, pointing due southwest) has an azimuth of 225.

Functions Blockface

segmentLengthInFeet

Format 5 bytes numeric
Description

Except for curved segments (see Curve Flag), the Segment Length is computed from the Spatial Coordinates of the segment's endpoints, as digitized in the LION file. For curved segments, the Segment Length is computed by summing the lengths of the small straight line segments that approximate the curve in the GIS version of LION; this is a more accurate approximation to the true arc length of the curve than would be the segment's 'secant length', that is, the straight line distance between the curve's extreme endpoints. In the case of Functions 3 and 3C, if the input data define a street stretch encompassing more than one segment (because of a T-intersection or bend), the Segment Length returned is the sum of the lengths of the constituent segments of the stretch. In all cases, the Segment Length has a very approximate level of accuracy only, and should not be used in applications requiring high precision.

Functions Address/Place, Blockface

segmentOrientation

Format 1 byte character
Description

This item is a set of codes grouping the possible azimuth values of a segment into eight categories. The categories are "approximately" due north, south, east and west, and the four quadrants of the rectangular coordinate system for segments that do not lie approximately due north, south, east or west. "Approximately" as used here means "within 5 degrees". In Manhattan, all orientation codes are defined with a 30-degree clockwise shift (i.e., 30 is subtracted from the azimuth value) in order to conform to the conventional concept that the midtown streets and avenues lie due east-west and due north-south, respectively. For example, "approximately due north" means "within 5 degrees of due north"; for the boroughs other than Manhattan, this corresponds to the range of azimuth values from 85 to 95; in Manhattan, the corresponding azimuth value range is 55 to 65. There is a ninth orientation category, with a code value of 'U', meaning Geosupport could not determine the segment's orientation because of a problem with the segment's Spatial Coordinates. All occurrences of an orientation code of 'U' should be reported to Geographic Systems Section staff.

spatialCoordinates

Format Spatial coordinates consist of two fields, an X Coordinate and a Y Coordinate, each 7 bytes RJZF.
Description

Spatial coordinates are a pair of numbers that specify a location on the earth's surface. Geosupport returns spatial coordinates for an input address (Functions 1 and 1E) or intersection (Function 2). Spatial coordinates are often used in conjunction with separate computer mapping and Geographic Information System (GIS) software to generate maps and for spatial analysis, although the Geosupport System does not itself provide users with such capabilities. Note: For Functions 1 and 1E, the spatial coordinates that Geosupport returns are imprecise approximations of real-world locations, and are not appropriate for use in applications that require a high level of spatial accuracy.

Spatial coordinates are expressed various geodetic coordinate systems, of which latitude/longitude is a well-known example. The coordinate system that Geosupport uses is known as the State Plane Coordinate (SPC) system. The SPC system is based upon the fact that, in a small enough geographic area, the earth's surface can be assumed to be flat without introducing a significant error. In the SPC system, each state of the U.S. is subdivided into zones small enough to model as planar areas. In each SPC zone, a Cartesian coordinate system is established, with the X and Y coordinate axes oriented due east and due north, respectively, and the origin selected to be a point well to the southwest of the entire zone. (The origin is so selected to insure that the X and Y coordinates of all points within the zone are positive values.) The SPC zone that New York City is in, and which Geosupport uses, is called the New York-Long Island zone, NAD 83. In the SPC system, one unit of X or Y represents one foot of distance on the ground. A major advantage of the SPC system over other map projection systems is the ease of calculating the distance between two points.

In the case of Functions 1 and 1E, if the street segment on which the input address lies is a straight line segment or an arc of a circle, Geosupport computes and returns output spatial coordinates using a complex algorithm, a detailed description of which is beyond the scope of this document. If, however, the input address lies on a irregularly curved geographic feature (see Curve Flag), Functions 1 and 1E return blanks in the spatial coordinate fields.

Function 1/1E's spatial coordinates algorithm produces a point position based on how the input address is prorated with respect to the administrative address range allocated to the entire block face. In addition, the computed point is positioned slightly set off from the segment, on the side of the street where the input address is located. This offset is graphically desirable and also insures that the point will fall within the interiors of the proper political and administrative district boundary polygons for the given address. The computed point is a rough approximation to the location of the input address, intended to be used only for thematic mapping and other purposes that do not require a high level of spatial accuracy. If the input address is a vanity address (see UPG Section V.9), the computed point is based on the street segment where the address is actually located. In general, points computed for vanity addresses have even less spatial accuracy than points computed for conventional addresses.

In the case of Function 2, the spatial coordinates returned are those of the LION node that corresponds to the input street intersection. Those coordinates represent an approximate center point of the intersection.

specialAddressGeneratedRecordFlag

Format 1 byte character
Description

A non-blank value in this flag indicates one of a variety of special addressing situations.

Functions Address/Place
CodeMeaning
AThe address range returned in this work area is alternative to the address range that is stored in LION for this block face. This case arises most commonly when the input address is an old (superseded) address on a block face on which the buildings were re-numbered at some time in the past. For such an input address, the address range returned in this work area is the old address range, whereas the current address range is stored in LION. Another situation in which this flag is 'A' is when the given street segment has continuous parity address ranges on both sides of the street, such as when buildings are numbered consecutively around the arc of a cul-de-sac.
BThe input street name or five-digit street code is different from that stored in LION for this block face. This case arises when two street names having different B5SCs are both valid along a street or portion of a street. These are situations in which treating the two street names as aliases would result in an address range overlap.
CThe input address pertains to Ruby Street, a street along the Brooklyn-Queens border that has a unique addressing situation. See UPG SectionV.8.
DThe input address involves a duplicate address situation. See UPG Section V.6.
EThe input address is in one of the neighborhoods in which the name of the neighborhood can serve as an alternative street name for the streets in that neighborhood. Two Bronx neighborhoods, Edgewater Park and Harding Park, have this characteristic.
GThe input name or street code corresponds to a non-addressable place name of a complex. A complex is a geographic feature that contains constituent entities that are separately geographically identifiable. Typical examples of complexes include airports, housing projects and university and hospital campuses. See UPG Section III.6.
NThe input name or street code corresponds to a non-addressable place name of a "stand-alone" geographic feature (a geographic feature that is neither a complex nor a constituent entity of a complex). Typical examples are individual named buildings, such as Empire State Building, Shea Stadium, Carnegie Hall. See UPG Section III.6.
OThe block face contains out-of-sequence and/or opposite-parity addresses. An out-of-sequence address contains a house number that is out of sequence with those of the immediately adjacent buildings. An opposite-parity address contains a house number that is of the opposite parity to the predominant parity on the block face. See UPG Section V.10.
PThe input address contains an addressable place name. Example: 2 Penn Plaza. See UPG Section III.6.
SThe input address contains a house number suffix and is either the first or last address on this block face.
VThe input address is a 'vanity address', that is, an address in which the street name refers to a different street than the one on which the referenced building entrance is actually located. See UPG Section V.9.
XThe input data specify a non-addressable place name of a constituent entity of a complex. Examples: AVERY FISHER HALL and NEW YORK STATE THEATER are names of constituent entities of the complex LINCOLN CENTER. See UPG Section III.6.
